(10 pts) A coal-fired power plant is considering two options to remove fly ash from its stack gas. Using either option,
an overall efficiency of 99.5% must be achieved for a flow rate of 1.2 million acfm. Assume a fan efficiency of 60%.
Option 1: Use an ESP. Pilot testing shows w=0.3fts and P of 0.2 in H2O.
Option 2: Use two devices in series: a multi-clone with 85% efficiency for pretreatment followed by an ESP. ????P
through the entire treatment train (both devices) is 3.4 in H2O. Assume the same drift velocity for particles in the
)=(0.3fts.
Evaluate both options. For each, calculate:
a) Total plate area of the ESP (round up to the nearest 1,000ft2)
b) Total power requirement (fan power and corona power, rounding up to nearest 10kW)
